The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal Rangers released a statement after Nevada Rangers rammed through a climate blockade near the Burning Man festival in Black Rock City, Nevada on Sunday.
Sunday marked day one of Burning Man 2023, a yearly music and art festival in Northern Nevada.
Climate protestors blocked the road leading to the Burning Man festival causing a major traffic jam.
The climate militants were demanding Burning Man ban private jets and single-use plastics, according to a reporter on scene.

Nevada Tribal Rangers rammed through the blockade, pointed a gun at the activists, and slammed to the ground.
“Get down now! Get on the ground! Don’t move!” the Ranger shouted as he pointed a gun at the climate militants.

A Nevada Ranger told a reporter at the scene they received a 911 call saying that someone in the crowd was going to shoot the activists blocking the street.
This would explain their urgency and aggressive response to the blockade.
The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe released a statement confirming the climate militants were all from out of state.
The Ranger’s conduct is also ‘under review.’
“Upon arrival, Rangers informed the activists to clear themselves from the highway which backed up the traffic for several miles. Our Rangers used his patrol vehicle to move the blockade debris out of the roadway to allw Burning Man traffic to proceed. The involved Ranger’s conduct is under review,” the statement said.

He deserves a bloody promotion.
I can’t believe they simply cited and released the terrorists.
I’d give him a five star “review”!
Probably smelled bad. Plus they’d have to feed them....................
These dirty hippie want a bees needed a good beat down.
I watched the whole 15 minute video on YouTube last night. They were lucky they did not get worse.
🍿
The only problem I have with the officer’s conduct is that he pulled a gun on protesters were were obviously unarmed. As far as driving over the barricade, I think it had to be done. As far as arresting the protesters for blocking a roadway, it had to be done.
Under review? Anyone stuck in the vehicle in that desert heat could die or have heat stroke. These “protestors” need to be doing hard time.
Never assume they have no weapons.................
Indian Reservations are Sovereign Nations. I have been to court on Reservations and it is a whole different world of legalities and justice system.

Now we have a play card on how to get police to response similarly in the future.
The people locked up in traffic because of the protesters should sue the protesters and Extinction Rebellion itselc for damages due to lost time, money, and stress. Lawfare just isn’t for communists.
Looked like they were a threat to emergency vehicles and people in jthe heat. They were committing the crimes. The ranger took appropriate action. People held up that experienced damage should sue the illegal protesters for damages.
The little white eco-Twinkies were on the sacred Piute reservation. They can run over anybody they want. It’s their rez.
“The only problem I have with the officer’s conduct is that he pulled a gun on protesters were were obviously unarmed.”
This is standard procedure all over this nation everywhere. It is done tens of thousands of times a day without probable cause and society finds it totally acceptable.
He may have seen something that looked like a weapon......
I think the funniest part of this is that Burning Man is a leftie end-of-summer party, so the Climate Activists were blocking fellow Commies...
I like his conduct.
Those climate scumbags have no right to obstruct traffic. There was an ambulance that need to get through also.

Yep...
